AUGUST ALL YEAR LONG Beginning on Tuesday, February 7 and continuing all year, the Century Cycle Reading Group will discuss the 10 plays of August Wilson that comprise the Century Cycle, so named because each play takes place in a different decade of the 20th century. All of the plays take place in Pittsburgh and offer a unique view of the Black experience here. The discussions will be at the library from 7 to 8 p.m., the first Tuesday of each month through November. First up is Gem of the Ocean, set in the Hill District in 1904.

Lebanon.
